0.75 Fib — The Only Retracement I Trust (using $FET chart for demo)
Over a decade in the market, and this is still the simplest + most consistent edge I’ve found.
Not 0.5
Not 0.618
0.75
Core Idea: After an impulsive move, price retraces.
• Most traders focus on the 0.618 (Golden Pocket)
• But in reality, price often goes deeper → into 0.75
• That’s where the real opportunity is.
— Why 0.75 Works
This level isn’t magic, it’s behavioral
• 0.618 traders enter early
• Price pushes deeper → stops them out
• Liquidity builds below
• Stronger players step in
• Price reverses from discomfort
0.75 = Maximum pain zone before continuation
— How I Trade It: I don’t blindly bid 0.75. It only works with context.
1. Identify the Impulse
• Clean displacement
• Clear BOS / MSS
• Volume expansion
2. Define the Range
• Swing Low → Swing High (or vice versa)
3. Wait for the Retracement
• No chasing
• Let price come into the 0.75 zone
4. Confluence is Key: The level alone is not the edge.
I combine it with:
• HTF S/R levels
• Range Highs / Range Lows
• RSI (reset / divergence)
• EMAs (trend alignment)
• Volume Profile (value zones)
Now, how I usually execute trades.
— Entry: Around 0.75
— SL: Below swing low / clear invalidation
— Target: Range highs / continuation
This strategy works on all timeframes but edge improves significantly on higher time frames like 1D / 3D / 1W
LTF → noise
HTF → cleaner reactions
— Reality Check—
Not a holy grail.
It will fail
It will get wicked
It can go deeper
But over a large sample size: It consistently offers better RR + cleaner entries than most retracement models
Bottom Line, Most traders try to enter early. I wait for:
• Discomfort
• Liquidity sweep
• Deep retracement
Then I act.
